I recently went to one Burger King (at Matteson) to get some food and I ran into an old time manager who I worked with a few times. When I used to work at Burger King (at Chicago heights), she wasn’t traditionally working there too but she got transferred there a few times when we were short on managers. So they would call her to work a particular shift for that day.

When I walked into the store she was excited to see me, I was shocked and surprised. This lady is older than I am, so I was wondering what the ruckus was about. She then asked me if I’ve got some time to spare that she needs to talk to me. I only came to get a chocolate milkshake but I told her I got a few minutes. Long story short, she told me she was being transferred to “my store” (at Chicago heights) to work permanently as the general manager and that she would like me to come work for her as a shift manager .

I was excited at first but I didn’t give her an answer. I told her we would speak on the phone. She gave me her number.

After a few days, I called her and after the regular formalities, I asked her what the pay rate would be, she said $11.50/hour when I start, then $12/hour after 30 days. I tried to bargain with her to increase it, citing my reliability and work ethic. She refused to succumb. I then told her to give a few more days to think about it. But I never called her back.

I don’t think it’s a good deal cos when I used to work there,the managers at suffer a lot. If someone doesn’t show up to work, you have to help out fill in the space, if food or money gets missing, na you dem go hold, if a customer wants to be rude, na you dem go insult.

The major thing that made me reject the offer was the pay. I could waltz into any nursing home or hospital to work as a CNA (I’m still a Certified nursing assistant, remember?) and start getting paid $13/hour for much less work but to pay someone $11.50/hour for the workload at Burger King is unfair. Maybe that’s the reason they are short on managers

Bro, I’m sure Op is making his comparison between public universities in Nigeria and America, nowhere in his posts did he state that he’s comparing private to private, which even if he did, there would be no comparison anyway cos private schools in USA would beat Nigerian private schools hands down.

And yeah, Nigeria would keep moving backwards as far as we keep voting these Neanderthal goats to be our leaders.

For these upcoming elections, it’s either between Moghalu or Sowore (or someone new entirely)

Fvck Atiku, fvck Buhari, fvck kwankwaso

Hello boss,pls check your inbox, I have a question for u,pls check..tks

So the courses I’m taking are Psychology, Philosophy, English and Biology. The biology is divided into class and lab.

Last week, when we went to the lab for some experiments. We were handed thermometers to do some random readings. Having been schooled all my life in naija, I’m used to seeing mercury thermometers. But these thermometers we were given had kerosene in it.

I quietly walked to the instructor and she confirmed it was indeed kerosene, then I asked why they were using kerosene instead of mercury. She told me recent scientific studies have shown that mercury has an adverse effect on neurological (brain) functions in kids and teenagers, so they switched to using kerosene cos it pretty much has the same properties as mercury and has no adverse effects.

Guess which country still uses mercury thermometers? When will Nigeria catch up with the rest of the world?

Hmm,I wish the OP best of luck in his educational endeavours.I will like to add that there are good universities in Nigeria too that is atleast close to international standards but they are mostly private universities,let's be honest good education is expensive,that's when the government comes in with funds to improve the infrastructure and the sector as all in a way we can refer to as subsidising but it's not their concern,all they care about is their pocket greediness for power,the educational sector in Nigeria,the public ones to be precise will not improve and will be in a pool of stagnacy as long as the old and corrupted leaders are being recycled.

hahahahahaha:



Didn't you hear the OP? He said over there, the lecturers want you to pass their course. I don't even understand that statement, that's how messed up my experience is.

Just imagine, becoming a manager with just o'level certificate whereas in Nigeria that can't be possible if one doesn't have an MBA. This shows that experience and integrity matters more than one's certificate in the US.

I believe what he is saying is that (at least based on my experience of schooling here) the professors provide as much help and resources as possible. They also make themselves available for questions and clarification if needed. OTOH, in Nigeria the professors are the exact opposite...they make life difficult for you as much as possible.

First day in nursing class. It was awesome and interesting. There is no basis for comparison mehn! Naija will get there too one day. Another life. New Opportunity!

subcbouy:
The problem with most Nigerians is, university should be free. Most Nigerian universities are too lazy to source for funds outside the shore. When government is not supplying funds, schools should help themselves. Good quality in teaching style and research advancement are two pseudo syndromes facing our schools, apart government failure to funding these institutions, because without these two, funds may become difficult in getting from foreign bodies. Good point from you.

This is not entirely true sir, KFC in Nigeria has the same structure as burger king, you can grow as far as a Restaurant General manager with SSCE in KFC Nigeria. Their shift managers (the ones in blue shirts) are mostly SSCE holders that have grown through the ranks from team member. I worked in a KFC Nigeria store so I know this.

Ugosample:


apart from that

how many lecturers know what they are doing In line with current trends in Nigeria?

bunch of useless old men

For yankee here, there are few open air markets. You know in naija if you want to buy household items, building materials like wood, nails, toilets, paint you drive down to the market & sadly most times, all the items you need would not be in the same market. So you have to juggle different markets. Well, for yankee here, they have specific stores for stuff like that. The two most popular are called “home-depot” and “menards”.

I recently went to one of them to get heavy-duty gloves for my work, so I took a few photos.

subcbouy:
I guess, they are paid well.
